The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRhLTRw6It

As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvbiGqekn4
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHJVm3UGqy
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOpHyMvpng
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5raReDwIJ3
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrJlsf5vIm
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMXXi70Eog
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68RJBr3fZ7
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2bimNCutF
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgzgOCKLIX
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRmsfnVliz
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpURgqBvxU
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPImbW1MBXJ
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSQRYkdnE6
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXfoteUGqg
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEwQY4hrIP
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA6sVsnhYc
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWQTBPx43G
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFa8sByXw0
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcLLjRr6l3
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdXjAu30jD
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp0DvbBWFm
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAHpsfCSTv
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRgD9oYwOx
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FPKtlyp7I
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjz4PDFQ3n
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAGQxMR9qD
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MKpezOwEF
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDE2DsgN1T
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vsINRjZBE
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P1LLlv68P
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhycqeUbJJf
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNKuwy6FBv
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Noh4mkx6U
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolQVKG3rCB
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ep3xENXCE
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm8af0aYmi
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovyntKW9sN
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ63xkIe8a
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXi8jxcLdC
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkRkjIln1j
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPyZp2rIu4
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rq32McLK8
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbajHiwhYo
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qucf8o5UJ
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDvKVkZRfy
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6bMpDvOn3
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXxc0rAWhR
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8ZXkaCZ8g
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
